Thank you.

I plugged outTV, pressed power button and changed HMDI port. Not sure which did the trick but thank you.

I tried everything and realized it was a faulty led backlight at the top of the TV. So I banged the back of the TV - top left and right and it's FIXED! Like the Fonz hitting the jukebox

My man! Thank you for this video. It worked the very first time and saved me from wasting my time and money on a repairman.

I waited 40 minutes and plugged it back in. Voila! Gone. Id been living with that black corner for weeks. I rebooted it previously, but did not wait long enough before I plugged it back in. I dont need a new TV.UPDATE, next day it is back...Probably need a new TV

T'shooting a qn65q60rafxza that is "half dark on one side". I am unclear how to determine if the problem is (generally) T-con or backlight. I presume the latter because the transition to dark is gradual. I presume if the T-con was at fault there would be a distinct cut-off to dark. If only there was a site that illustrated the appearance of different display issues...

Thank you so much for this well explained procedure. I am so grateful

Thank you for this. I hadn't disconnected the plus but it worked after pressing the manual power off button for 30seconds on the TV itself. Thank you! 👍🏻

It was the strips of lights on my tv (shadowing dark on top half) just fiddled with the connections and now works fine - thanks for the info

This seems just like the video I needed to fix my Samsung tv.
My tv has both the bright spots AND the periodically backlight issue, where the upper horisontally third goes dark at random times.
The bright spots must be the lenses has come loose as I understand is a common issue.
Sometimes tue backlight turns on or off in the middle of watching stuff, sometimes it's dark or lit for weeks or even months at a time.
I hear a humming sound from the tv which change in pitch depending on the image shown, dark or bright images, and I'm wondering if that points towards a failing powersupply for the backlight, or could it still be 'just' the LED strips or the different common points of failure I read about in the article linked in the description?
I already opened the tv before to check for popped/burned capacitors, but didn't find any, and I want to try again if I have enough intel on what to look for/measure with multimeter.

I already tried with/without HDMI inputs, factory reset, leaving the tv without power for a few days(though I didn't try holding the powerbutton like described), knocked lightly around the connectors inside to check for loose connections and cold solderjoints.
I dont think I've updated the firmware yet, as I kinda fear that Samsung will inject some planned obsolescense failure, but maybe that's a conspiracy, idk.
Hope to hear from you. - cheers

How hard do you hit it for dark down the middle? Where?

[martinhodasilvatembo]

Worked first step. Thank you so much. God bless.

Easy fix with the t-con connector. Thank you!!!

So if it comes back on after A cold reboot and then happens again weeks l8er, and repeats like this several times, do you know what is causing this?

[reduxgamez]

Would this work on any tv or only samsung?

[Fuhgit-lutj]

I have half dark screen. It likes to switch sides. Last week it was the left side, now the right side has it. The leds work otherwise it would stay on one side….right?

[AndrewS-xkfw]

A solution that works. Many thanks. Simply powering off and on did the trick

[logansavoy]

Would replacing the panel cable fix this problem ?

[guydemi]

Half of my screen (right hand side) is darker but not totally black. This is a samsung curved screen. Any suggestions on what it could be? I have reset the whole TV already so i suspect that it might be a hardware issue. And what would be the estimated cost of parts and repairs in the UK?

[brytastic]

My Tv is half black no matter what is it hardware or backlight?
